I have increased to the number of races from 6 to 11 this year. Also 3 of the tracks are new to the series, and I am excited to go race on them!

[Bill Bowers]

Ralph i would like race in Janary at Flashbacks......billbowers

[Brinkley47]

Ralph, the sooner the better, just not on any pkt dates...lol.

hopefully a couple of races at lavergne anD cookeville

also please try to do a combo race again at the viper pit. Good times were had there with great competition.

[Ralph Thorne]

A combo race is already scheduled and I talked to Chris at Cookeville and Rick at Central yesterday.

[John C Martin]

Sounds good to me,,just need to find out what Eddie's doing.when.. Jan. yes!!!
4.5 stockcar ,yes..wish there was a way to do all 4...maybe no qualifying..

[Ralph Thorne]

Yep, 4.5" stockers at every race just like you guys wanted. I would like to keep qualifying and stick to 3 classes a day.

[Brinkley47]

Definitely glad to see the stock cars at each event. It looks like the GRRR/Retro South event will be in June? Based on their schedule, it looks like just can am and F-1 will run? 

 

I love running my stock car but I do think that would be best for all parties with the amount of entries that event had in 2013. 

[Ralph Thorne]

Points or no points? What do you guys think?

[Brinkley47]

Personally, I think offer a big box plaque at each event for the overall combined laps for all three divisions. 

 

Truthfully, if I am leading the points, it will still not dictate whether I come to a race. So I would prefer more/better awards at each individual event instead of anything year end.

 

Maybe a most improved driver at the year end and a most outstanding but that is it.

[brnursebmt]

[John C Martin]

[Ralph Thorne]

Please note that I have added a tentative schedule to the first post.

[John C Martin]

Can't do viper pit date,,

[Ralph Thorne]

Sorry you can't make that one JC.

 

The good news is you have 10 other races to go to!

[John Streisguth]

Way to go Ralph....best wishes for a successful season!

[Ralph Thorne]

Thanks, John.

 

The majority of the racers informed me that they wanted more races this year, so I booked them. I think it will be exciting with 3 new raceways in the mix also.

[Kim Lander]

Ralph...this may sound like a crazy question...but is that Cordele Ga. ?

[Ralph Thorne]

No it's not. The track is in Marietta, Ga.

I'm sure you wish it was in Cordele, Ga right?

[brnursebmt]

Where is Anderson Raceway?

[Ralph Thorne]

In Anderson, SC.

[Jay Guard]

Nice job. Ralph!!

 

Looks like a great schedule for 2014 and I like running the Stock Cars at every event (hey, this is the Deep South!).

 

I vote "No" for points this year, there are usually only three or four drivers that make enough races to contend for a "Title" so I think it will be better for the majority of the racers to give nice plaques/prizes for each race.

[Brinkley47]

Ralph, could you put the address down for each track?

[John C Martin]

Raceway list on the main page .address and usually pictures.

[John C Martin]

Sorry you can't make that one JC.
 
The good news is you have 10 other races to go to!

Nope no march 22 ??
Nope no may 2-3
Nor June 27-28
I will make the rest..

[Ralph Thorne]

I have added the adress' for all the raceways in the original post.

 

Jay, thanks and there will be no points this year.
